TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - AUGUST 28, 2019

Teacher Cain

Today is August 28, 2019

Welcome to your mid-week!

Jude describes false teachers as people who have "taken the way of Cain."

For Jude, it was more then just the message that made a teacher false. It was their character. And what was the primary characteristic of Cain? Well, he was a man full of pride.

When confronted with his younger brother receiving the favor of God instead of him, Cain did not humble himself and ask why. Instead he became angry. Unwilling to learn from his mistake, Cain's pride led to anger that would eventually lead to the first murder in scripture. 

And the warning that Jude gives us is that any one of us can follow down that same path. Any one of us can take the way of Cain. Any one of us can be false teachers.

When we focus on the failures of others. When we are self righteous or overly critical. When we look through people's live with a microscope. When we are quick to judge and quick to label. When we think everyone is privileged to be around us. That is the way of pride. That is the way of Cain.

And, even if our message may be good, if we take that way then we will ultimately lead people astray.

Jude teaches us that it is not just what is said but how something is said that is important. And that's the point.

God's blessing upon you as you strive toward humility, toward Christ, and I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.
